Yoga at Ann G. McGuinness Elementary School
After-School Program
Join our Blissful Kids Yoga Program, designed to focus on the process, not an outcome. Helping Kids find balance, relax, and most importantly, have fun, while developing self-control, better body awareness, coordination, and flexibility. Students are encouraged to make a pose or movement their own, and not focus on an end, finish line, or final goal.
We approach yoga as play, and make movement and fitness fun, creating a lifelong love of physical activity. Everyone is successful in Yoga, so we begin to foster an environment for improved self-esteem and confidence, where creativity and imagination can be expressed. This is accomplished through games, dance, share circles, mindful movements, breath work, and visualizations that help move energy and breathe through the body as we calm our minds.
This year we are combining our Kids Yoga with the Groove Method technique where we'll get moving to fun music wiggle, shimmy, shake and dance to our own groove!
